Katja Kleinberg’s research focuses on the dynamics of international conflict. Her main interest lies in the role of economic interests in coercive bargaining and the international use of force. Current research projects focus on refinements of the concept of economic interdependence, the implications of a globalized market for economic coercion, and the impact of individual- level economic preferences on attitudes toward hostile foreign policies and on foreign policy making. Her work has been published in The Journal of Conflict Resolution and is forthcoming in International Studies Quarterly and Foreign Policy Analysis.

Professor Kleinberg joined the Binghamton faculty in 2009. She teaches courses on international conflict and cooperation, as well as international political economy.
